1. Emergency Response
When a customer calls about burst pipe, clogged drain, no hot water
"Write a response to [NAME] who just called about a plumbing emergency: [ISSUE]. Confirm we're available, give an arrival window, make them feel confident they called the right plumber. Under 80 words."
2. Estimate Follow-Up (Day 3)
3 days after sending an estimate with no response
"Write a follow-up text to [NAME] who received a plumbing estimate of $[AMOUNT] for [SCOPE] 3 days ago. Friendly, brief, mention availability this week. Under 60 words."
3. Review Request
Same day as job completion
"Write a text to [NAME] whose [PLUMBING WORK] we just completed. Thank them, confirm everything is working, and ask for a Google review. Under 100 words."
4. Scope of Work
Before any significant job — protects you legally
"Write a plain-language scope of work for [NAME]'s plumbing project: [DESCRIBE]. Include what we're doing, materials, what's NOT included, permit requirements if any. Bullet points."
5. Change Order
When unexpected conditions are discovered during the job
"Write a change order for [NAME] for this addition to their plumbing project: [DESCRIBE CHANGE]. Additional cost: $[AMOUNT]. Reason: [UNEXPECTED CONDITION]. Clear and professional."
6. Water Heater Aging Reminder
Contact past customers whose water heaters are 10+ years old
"Write a message to [NAME] whose water heater we installed [X] years ago. Note average lifespan is 10–15 years. Offer a free assessment. Helpful, not alarmist."
7. Price Objection
When a customer says your plumbing quote is too expensive
"A customer said my plumbing quote of $[AMOUNT] for [SCOPE] is too expensive. Write a confident response that holds the price, explains the value (licensed master plumber, quality parts, warranty). Under 150 words."
8. Referral Ask
1 week after every completed job
"Write a casual message to [NAME] one week after completing their plumbing job. Check that everything is working great, then ask if they know anyone who might need plumbing work. Low-pressure, 2–3 sentences."
